A billion reasons to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux

John Gantz

IDC Senior Vice President, John Gantz, will discuss IDC’s recent research on the economic impact of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and the ecosystem of products and services that run on or complement it. The IDC study looked at the size and scope of the RHEL ecosystem, its impact on various business functions, from customer support and research and development to supply chain management and general IT infrastructure. The study was conducted using IDC market forecasts, estimates of RHEL revenues, and a survey of 600+ line of business and IT executives. Spoiler alert: the study found that, worldwide, IT organizations using RHEL in 2019 will save $7 billion doing so.

Building a well-architected cloud-based foundation with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 on AWS

Building a well-architected cloud-based foundation with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 on AWS

Designing a software system is a lot like constructing a building. If the foundation isn't solid, then structural problems can undermine the integrity and function of the software system. When architecting technology solutions on AWS, if you neglect the 5 pillars of operational excellence—security, reliability, performance, efficiency, and cost optimization—it can become challenging to build a system that delivers on your expectations and requirements. Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 can help you achieve well-architected excellence at every pillar. This session will discuss how to produce stable, more secure, and lean systems based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux on AWS, and deliver the high-quality elastic experience at scale that your cloud customers demand.
